The car wasn't designed for 1/4miles, I doubt you'd add 200kgs of stereo equipment if you want to go fast:p Besides I didn't see you racing at Drag Combat;)

would you add a few hundred rwkw if you wanted to go slow :)

Drag, bah, so passe, I like it sideways baby yeah!

besides, I dont think my 7kg rear springs would help much in that department, or my 235 tyres on 10" rims.

So gotta ask yourself, would you sooner have another R34 GTR (very tasty), or

A one of a kind skyline that puts down enough power to stop all over that GTR?

.

Sooner have R34 GTR no question.

Stock GTR would hose it in dry conditions not to mention wet with all that extra weight and aerodynamic drag a widebody would produce and that's without factoring cornering ability into it.

But park cars side by side in Murray st not many would notice the GTR.

Cars are a bad investment at the best of times

You also have to ask yourself when I sell in say 3 years time which car would be worth more AND easier to sell. The GTR would be worth say $45k that GTS substantially less.

Sure it's great to have a one off but there are disadvantages as well.

Some goose rear ends you and you have to source body panels. Car repair maybe takes 6 months not 6 weeks (guess only)

Time for sale 10 people looking for GTR's compared to 1 looking for an oddball car.

I admire anyone who has the guts to build a car such as this and in this case it is a brilliant example but it's also one of the fastest ways to do your dough this side of the high rollers room at the Casino

Cheers

stock gtr is quick, but not THAT quick.   If you didnt want to loose money on a car, you would have to buy the cheapest POS you could find.

It is difficult to sell a unique car though, but that is part of owning one - if that is what you want.  good with the bad.

Is N1K quick? No one knows

Can't see it doing low 13's or maybe 12's with all that gear unless someone can show a timeslip

XR6 with turbo only manages 14's

GTS stock I read does high 13's to 14 depending on the day and tester.

I would be very suprised if that car weighing close to commodore more power less torque and traction problems could put down a 12.

Love to see it do it and prove me wrong though.

Anyway that's enough from me .If we all looked for the same thing from a car it would be a boring car scene

Cheers

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
